WrestleMania 37 Deeper Thoughts
https://twitter.com/Kazeem/status/1382386427523129350?s=19 Indeed it was, and not because of the number of participants but because of the roles they were given, from headliners to defending champions to rising stars to young prospects to wily veterans here to help said young prospects.

Find her at @TheWitchMilitia on Twitter. I sat down to watch Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 this past Saturday … Continue reading Dreaming in Reality
Of course Bianca is Ready
I'm gonna skip the big intro and get to the point here...If you're seriously going to deliberate over whether someone is ready to be a major wrestling champion there are only two questions to ask: One, has their character shown the necessary ability to beat the current titleholder and any challengers that may come afterwards? … Continue reading Of course Bianca is Ready

Survivor Series 2020
Dual Brand Battle Royal How good a battle royal is, regardless of company comes down to a couple of things - how good the finish is and how much of the match they put any effort into laying out other than the finish.

Summerslam 2020 Thoughts
Women's Title Matches: Asuka vs Bayley (c) and Asuka vs Sasha Banks (c) Both matches were very good to great, and they moved the storyline along in important ways.
